Could one use something like this from the surface to detect steel submerged under 20-40 feet of water?

Yeah, the oceanic part is the issue. Going between two close points, at least one of which has electricity, is easy.

I am very skeptical. Battery tech is still far away from the energy density of diesel fuel. How far could an electric ship go and what could it carry?

But if your competitor is running newer chips that consume less power per operation, aren't you forced to upgrade as well and dispose of the old hardware?

Will they live longer on the moon? (Maybe you are just joking, but I wonder about the idea.) When I was a kid, it was a general assumption in science fiction that living in zero-G or low-G would provide health/longevity benefits. Our e

I have written applications for macOS in Objective-C and remain a Swift skeptic. Maybe the language has more serious design behind it now. I don’t know. As much as I hate JavaScript, maybe it is time for Apple to provide a JavaScript API or

Apple really should investigate why so many popular apps are implemented using Electron. Is it that hard to use the native APIs now? If so, Apple needs to improve the native application development experience. The UX on these apps is terrib

When I was a boy in Florida in the 1970s, there was an annual inspection for automobiles. Some other states still do this. It would certainly improve overall safety on the roads if we still had any minimum requirements.

I do not understand the official position of Tesla on FSD (Supervised). The owner's manual Tesla has posted on www.tesla.com says, "Full Self-Driving (Supervised) is a hands-on feature that requires you to pay attention to the roa

SQLite works fine over read-only NFS, in my experience. Just only work on an immutable copy and restart your application if ever changing it. If your application is short lived and can only ever see an immutable copy on the path, then it is

I always wonder this and maybe people in the comments here know the answer: If humans had the technology to eliminate all viruses on Earth, what would be the outcome? Do viruses keep other bad things in check? Would there be bad consequence

> with no PA system Wow. That is crazy and surprising. I can see losing air conditioning, but the PA should be considered mission critical.

Having used a Commdore PET, I cannot stop laughing at this size comparison. It reminds of the observation that some people will go to great lengths to avoid the metric system.

Ah, well I never did Pascal as a job and never used Modula-2 at all, so I didn’t know that they had that also.

Is there is a way to automatically tell HTML/CSS to adjust the font size automatically? For example, iOS UILabel has adjustsFontSizeToFitWidth. Does HTML have anything similar?

The comment to which I replied is about two concepts: Defining subtypes and an optimization made possible by them. I get a lot of value out of compile time enforcement of subtypes (e.g., defining a function as requiring a parameter be Index

Ada has this ability to define ranges for subtypes. I wish language designers would look at Ada more often.

I was surprised to see “AAAA”. I didn’t know there were 4 As now. “AAAA Game Studio shits out another unoptimized clunker” seems a paradoxical statement to me. I would have thought “AAAA” meant “highly resourced” game company. Does it just

When they mandate E-Verify universally and enforce it, we will know that they are serious. Until then, it is just a sham to keep Democrats and Trumpers distracted.

The Tenth Amendment and Chamber of Commerce v. Whiting give states the power to enforce work eligibility laws.

And no employers will be penalized.

Florida has not cracked down. The E-Verify mandate is limited to companies of 25 or more employees and is not enforced. DeSantis will never oppose the criminal businesses profiting from illegal labor.
